MOST INSTAGRAMMABLE SPOTS IN BROOKLYN

When visiting New York, visitors flock to Brooklyn for panoramic views of Lower Manhattan and visit the best Instagram spots in Brooklyn. With endless options and so many great restaurants, Brooklyn is the place to go. So here’s my complete guide on the Most Instagrammable Spots in Brooklyn!

1. BROOKLYN BRIDGE

The Brooklyn Bridge is a must when visiting New York. Start from the Manhattan side and walk over the bridge for endless photo opportunities especially during sunrise or sunset.

2. MANHATTAN BRIDGE BETWEEN BUILDINGS ON WASHINGTON STREET

Located at the intersection of Washington Street and Water Street in Dumbo, the Manhattan can be spotted beautifully framed between two red-brick buildings. If lined up perfectly, you can see the Empire State building in a far distance between the legs of the bridge.

Tip: arrive before 7 am because this is one of the most crowded streets!

3. STREET WITH RAILROAD TRACKS

Located right behind Washington Street. After taking a couple of images of Manhattan Bridge between the buildings, make a quick stop for a photo at the railroad tracks with views of the Brooklyn Bridge

4. MANHATTAN BRIDGE

This park is situated near/under Manhattan Bridge and has many photo options! Take a walk and you’ll find yourself shooting the Manhattan Bridge nonstop. The best area is on the grass to set up a picnic and get photos of either the Brooklyn Bridge or the Manhattan Bridge. Walk under the Manhattan Bridge to the right for one of my favorite alley to shoot the Manhattan Bridge.

5. JANE’S CAROUSEL

Located in Dumbo, this beautiful and antique carousel is a carved into 48 wooden horse that offers a stunning view of the city.

6. PEBBLE BEACH

A small beach located in Dumbo, this tiny sort of beach offers a stunning view of the city skyline, Brooklyn Bridge, and Manhattan Bridge. Located across from Time Out Market. Visitors love stopping by this area to sit and watch the sunset.

7. TIME OUT MARKET ROOFTOP

Head to Time Out Market for a bite and make your way to the rooftop for views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge.

8. SQUIBB PARK BRIDGE

Right behind 1 Hotels in Dumbo is Squibb Park Bridge which is one of the newest bridges in New York! It has a beautiful view of the Manhattan and not a lot of people know about it since it’s a bit hidden so make sure to check it out before it gets busier!

9. BELOW BROOKLYN BRIDGE – PARK

Right under the Brooklyn Bridge not too far outside of Time Out Market is a hill of grass for the perfect picnic shot. This spot offers a closer image of the Brooklyn Bridge and the skyline.

10. BROOKLYN BRIDGE PARK/THE GRANITE PROSPECT

Brooklyn Bridge Park located near 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge has tons of great options for views of the Brooklyn Bridge. I usually enjoy stopping by during dinner time and stop by Grimaldi’s for pizza. Be prepared to wait and bring cash! During the summer months, this area offers the free movie’s with a view every Thursday evening.

This large area is perfect for a picnic and just to the right of this is The Granite Prospect which is a promenade with views of downtown Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty.

11. THE RIVER CAFE

Located next to Brooklyn Bridge Park and by the water in Dumbo, The River Cafe has an outdoor little garden that is nice to walk through and get photo ops. If you dine inside the restaurant, make sure to request a window seating by the water to get a beautiful view of the New York City skyline.

12. BELOW BROOKLYN BRIDGE – STREET

Right below the Brooklyn Bridge by Luke’s Lobster is a great photo spot! I always love photos here as it has a great view of the Brooklyn Bridge and views of the skyline.

13. PIER 1 BROOKLYN BRIDGE PARK

Pier 1 is located along the water. This is one of my favorite spots for sunset views and the Manhattan skyline.

14. PIER 2

Pier 2 is a few steps from Pier 1 and has a basketball court and a big space for outdoor activities! It has a great view of the New York Skyline and worth watching the sunset from.

15. HARRIET’S ROOFTOP AT 1HOTEL BROOKLYN BRIDGE

Harriet’s rooftop is located at the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge which has the unparalleled views of Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge. For non-hotel guests, there is an entrance fee of $20. If you’re looking for a hotel in Brooklyn, I would recommend booking a night or two at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge to enjoy their rooftop pool!

This article was incredible! I appreciate the time and dedication you showed to include all of the details. This list is PERFECT for an Insta spree while in the City! It’s cute and put together and so informative! I don’t know if you’ve heard of them but I wanted to recommend a party bus service that I used called Safe Rides. I got an amazing price, I literally had to call and make sure it was real because it was so much cheaper than everyone else. Anyways, thought I would spread the word and help others save some money!
